Up until the last few months, that is before Hillary's loss to Trump, the Obama administration took little notice of the nuclear threat coming from both Russia and China. They insisted that the biggest danger to our fragile environment was those terrible emissions coming from cow farts and those disgusting SUV exhaust pipes---many of which have two. They saw the possibility of a nuclear exchange between major powers as only a remote threat. The real danger to the world's environment came from man-made emissions---granted it would perhaps take hundreds of years for the oceans to rise a single inch, but that was the clear and present danger. However since the Trump victory in November they suddenly see the dangers of Russia. Not only their hacking, but even their arsenal of nuclear weapons. But then, is it really Russia they fear or is it Trump.
